Howdy, friendly reading person!I'm on a bit of a hiatus right now, but only to work on other projects -- one incredibly exciting example being the newly-released kids' science book series Things That Make You Go Yuck!If you're a science and/or silliness fan, give it a gander! See you soon!

You know how it’s easy sometimes to confuse words that sound similar, but have ever-so-slightly different meanings?

Yeah. I do that, too.

Lately, I’ve been doing it with ‘foresight’ and ‘foreskin’. It’s turned out to be just a tad inconvenient. Even worse, I often don’t realize right away when I’ve done it. Just this afternoon, my wife and I had this conversation:

Her: Wow, I could really go for a beer.

Me: Well, then, it’s a good thing I had the foreskin to pick up a couple of six packs on my way home.

So now we’re both sitting here, drinking beer and watching the Red Sox beat up on the Yankees. It should be a fun, relaxing Saturday afternoon. And I guess it is, really — except that every five minutes, she’ll lean over and ask:

‘So, how’s that foreskin doing?‘

Or:

‘Do you have the foreskin to know that I need another beer from the kitchen, dear?‘

Dammit. I hate when that happens. On the other hand, if she’s not careful, then she might just get a little more ‘foreskin‘ than she bargained for. Yeah. That’ll learn her. Giggity!
